It feels good to be drawing again. I so don't like un-planned or forced creative standstills. If you hold up too long it's so difficult to get the wheels rolling again. It's like trying to get up early on a Monday morning; during winter time -it's pitch-black outside, you really really don't want to get up. Even though you have fun things planned later today. It might be a good Monday! but it is still Monday morning and good lordy you really do not want to move. So you just lay there sort of half-asleep, suspended in time with your indecision. Except time really isn't suspended and the next thing you know, you're really fuckin late. Damnit, not again!

(For once.)

So I was at work today and I got this weird call from a radio station in SEATTLE.....

Bullshit, you cry. Oh really?

Listen to me be kamakaze'd into being on a highly popular Seattle radio show:

Or if you don't trust me and think I'm trying to give your computer some kind of weird harddrive-eating virus:

http://kissfmseattle.com/pages/504539.php and scroll until you see the part about calling a Starbucks in Fargo, ND.

Why yes, I am gloating. How kind of you to notice!

First of all, thanks so much for the precious comments on my last fanarts post, I'm really moved... I swear I'll reply to each one of you my sweeties, but I needed to explode for the gratefulness now! I love you my wonderful F-list!

Now a bit of silliness...
Visit the official website of actor Tugg Speedman here:
http://www.tuggspeedman.com/a
And of course visit the official website of my fav actor, the australian Kirk Lazarus here:
http://www.kirklazarus.com/
About Kirk, please check his movies! Personally I loved "Satan's alley" so much because there is Tobey Mcguire in it too and it's a veeeery slashy (and blasphemous LOL) movie!
Kirk and Tugg are now working at the new war movie "Tropic Thunder" with the comedian Jeff Portnoy, for the first time in a serious role...
Love the 3 guys, I'm sure they'll do a great performance! LOL!
If you want to stay informed about the movie diary, check the blog of the crew:
http://www.rainofmadness.com/

and now Kirk talks about his method style of acting... he changed the colour of his skin and his eyes for the role, this is true dedication guys, true dedication and skill...

Hallo world. Today it was clear blue skies and steaming hot. I had a light migraine, I did house-cleaning duties, got free dinner, and a flat tire on my bike.

Now for something completely different. Remember "Artists Express Concern Over PhotoBucket" and the PhotoBucket Petition?

Here's a followup.

Fuck. I am so tired of breaking down into tears.

Nothing like marathoning Frasier in the background while working on old pieces that you completed years and years ago (Okay, so it wasn't THAT long ago). Got everything packaged, been working on getting the incomplete pieces finished so that they, too, can be shipped off. The sad thing is that I felt the need to go in and touch up the stuff that I wasn't even paid to touch up! What is wrong with me and why can't I just leave well enough alone? I'm costing myself more time in being a nitpicky perfectionist.

This also marks two days in a row that I've forgotten to eat but just one meal - I don't do it on purpose, I just get so caught up in what I am doing that I forget, well, to eat. I only just now realized my hunger pains stemming from the pits of my stomach. Haha, ironically enough this might account for why I gained so much weight in 2007 - no art meant I didn't have anything to distract me to that degree, so I ate pretty regularly. Pretty badly, too.

Atleast, though, the meal I did have last night was amazingly delicious. My grandmother had cooked roast tips, corn, black eyed peas, potatoes and cornbread. I had a pretty hearty meal (atleast for my standards it was pretty big, I had a second helping. yum!) so atleast I did get a good stomach full when I did eat.

Oh, also, my purplish/reddish dye has finally really faded- it's left me with sort of a natural red color. I really like how it looks against my complexion so I'm tempted to get the entirety of it done that way! Red is the only color i've never really been (of the natural spectrum atleast)... could be fun.

Of course, I'm pale as all hell with naturally near-black hair, when I say that I've been every natural color I do mean I was blonde once - it looked horrible and didn't stay that way but for about ten minutes (it was a full-bleach job to get my hair dyed blue haha)

I post a lot about nothing in live journal, don't I? Especially when I'm on this weird sleep schedule and I just want to chat with someone, yet there is no one to chat with.

melange: a mixture.

So I was going through the pictures from Meredith's honeymoon to Japan pics that she gave me so I could use them for my Photoshop project, and she took SO MANY PICTURES OF THE DELICIOUS FOOD. After looking at these pictures for some time, I actually wound up going down to the kitchen and making myself some ramen and tea, the most asian-like foods in the house. XD

But yeah, I somehow need to shit out this project by next week. I sorted all the possible pictures into files, but I need to brainstorm some more before I get any definite ideas. But yeah, it's due on Monday, so I guess I better shit it out quickly... D:

Many thanks to the talented and wonderful Mr. phillgonzales(Who does WoW TCG art and works with Blizzard, check out his LJ for his awesome art!) I got myself and my best pal into Wrath of the Lich Key beta! :D Expect alot of DK arts and tons of WoW doodles and project in coming days!

Also, those interested in some screenies and adventures of Mr. So-Shiny Blood Elf Paladin Zhain and Deathknight Azidren in Northrend and Ebon hold. My folders of screenshots can be found here:

http://www.wandering-mindz.com/infinitus/wotlkbeta

:) Will be updated daily and will add a folder for WOTLK doodles as well.

And so my borrowed time with the Xbox360, DMC4 and GH3 is over. Woe, sad is the day. ;.;/

I suppose it's back to my cute li'l PS2 and finishing games I have have left to finish. DMC3se, MGS3 Subsistence, and GTA:ViceCity. Oh and that DMC game that no one bothers with (at least it's fun cartwheeling and running up walls). It never fails to make me laugh how bad I am at GTA. I'm no good gamer but I mean really. Also, this time I shall make a memo of trying to remember that unlike Dante, Snake actually don't know that running off cliffs and tall bridges is a bad thing.

On an end note: is "next-gen" consoles/games "current-gen" yet or what?

vituperation: abusive language.

So I somehow lost my thumb drive last night when I had it in the lab, to this morning when I went back to the lab at 9:15 and realized it was gone. Which included my Illustrator project that was due for my 5:30 class. As an added bonus, I was unable to escape from classes until 3:00, giving me a whopping 2 and a half hours to redo the whole thing.

It didn't come out TOO awful, because I had already figured out the majority of it the day before, so redrawing my illustrations weren't too hard, but I didn't get the other side of the cd booklet I was designing done at ALL, and it was pretty obvious. I almost started crying in front of the class during critique when I was explaining the situation. Luckily, the teacher was pretty understanding, since he knows I can't work on Illustrator at home and he had seen my progress on it the week before. I'm going to email him tonight to see what can be done about it...

On a note that's NOT totally depressing and exhausting (which I am getting PRETTY tired of being as of late >___<), Alina, who made a guest appearance at Metrocon (and somehow managed to do more work than some of our ACTUAL cosplay "volunteers") posted some of the powerful pictures she took at Metro. Including this treasure:



I'm very excited to see the pictures taken on Nikki's camera of me and Laina rolling around in our Berserk costumes (taken in the hotel lobby).

Oh yeah, and Avatar finale was pretty sexy. Although Aang was a whiny bitch and I demand a cartoon sequel movie that has nothing to do with M. Night Shyamalan.

EDIT: Does anyone have any plans on hitting up Joann's this week? I feel like I should take advantage of all the SUPER COUPONS going on. :/

As much as I am absolutely upset and pissed off at other aspects of my life, I wanted to write in to say how I currently adore my puppy. He's not anywhere near perfect, but he's made a total 180* on the ratio of good to bad in the last few days.

It wasn't even a week ago when my mother and I had our last serious talk about how much we would be able to deal with. I have to admit that when she made it clear that we could try again with another dog I almost gave in. The "rescue" lady flat out lied, and as my mother put it, this is not the dog we had wanted. Not just in temprament, but in breed and size and just about any way that matters.

But it might just be okay. Baci hasn't marked me with his roughhousing in three days. The last of them are scabbed over, including the puncture wound from the very scary bout of overexcitement while playing outside. We resorted to the water spray bottle method when all else failed for the more extreme issues, and that's working great. For anything less than the Huge Issues we're sticking with the positive reinforcement. He's learning commands at a decent clip (though whether he's in a mood to follow them or not is another matter).

Yeah, he still has huge potty training issues. Yep, he still chews, though not nearly as much. And he hasn't completely stopped trying to nip and gnaw though it's sooooo much better. But he follows us around the house with adoration, sits quietly in his crate(s), respects the flimsy $12 baby gates I bought, and I can cuddle and snuggle him pretty much whenever I want, without having to worry about him taking a pound of flesh.

And all this without the hurdle of 2+ hours of daily walks recommended. I get that dogs need excersize, but for my low energy family that's a deal breaker. What a relief that two or three 45minute walks a week might suffice. We have ordered him a cheap starter agility set to try out, though. It seems like something he might like to do, the way he runs figure eights around the trees and barrels across the yard to run under the lawn chairs.

Without the biting and chewing taking center stage, it's much easier to focus on all the things he excells at, that make us go "wow, we wish Oscar would've done that." Loved you greatly Oscar, but my little boy, you have to admit you were a horrible horrible spoiled trantruming brat who got away with murder. We can't do that again, especially not with a new boy two or three times your size.

With patience and effort, we might not have to <3

Top Cow Sneak Peek: Broken Trinity #1

OH LOOK, VIKINGS. That possibly concludes TopCow having used all possibly clichés in these stories now (ninja, mobster, crusaders, pirates, Lex Luthor rip-offs evil businessmen, cowboys and more). However, since this is a crossover ANDa continuation to First Born I still SO NEED this damn. TopCow please gif moar Jacie-daddy moments yesh (oh hah did she just say uncle Gleason?)

Speaking of Jackie. I wonder if he's been eaten by that stupid woman yet. I swear The Darkness must love to hate him at this point. Most dorky, stupid, annoying, difficult yet hilariously good and easily manipulated host ever.

Ignore the title.

Outside of being bored out of my mind, I am restless. Despite the fact I have gotten next to no work today besides packaging art I sold I just feel like I wanted a day completely off from art, taking pictures, organizing, sorting, labeling, etc. ARGH. Still, I feel guilty about it.

I swam and Clint came over. I am trying to cram in as much social time with my local friends before I leave for school. I don't regret it and I'm not going to stop it, but it doesn't stop me from feeling guilty for spending the time on it. Oh well, I am not tired yet, I can still finish up some more actual work. I can either finish a commission or work on some of the pieces I sold with more work needed on them.

I also have all of these photographs of my anime/manga merch that i'm selling that needs to go up. i'm trying to avoid E-bay, think I am only going to put rare stuff up on it... still have to fix up pumpkin patch/deity/betrayal... sigh. Well, by "fix up" I mean make them more...complete. the images are complete, but I mean.. frames and... stuff... for selling.................................... like I said, sigh.

two videos I like:



Niles being... Niles. Neurotic Naked Niles.



probably my favorite villain moment at the time being.

So there you have it. It's been a lazy day, I've gotten next to no work done, youtube is my savior and I am restless. I think I am going to do something about the restlessness, even if its 4:20 am :| my sleep schedule is ruined. again...

Posting here too since it's like...90% of people on DA forgot I exist by now.

[Tarot.com ] You may feel as if one portion of your life is passing away -- and you aren't entirely sad to see it go. If you have been floating along this summer, waiting for what's next, here it comes. It's like expecting visitors, yet you don't know who they are or when they will arrive. Still, there is much to do before the party begins, so get busy.

I think this is the last Fan-Art PSC for a while... I'm still going to be doing PSC commissions. I'm just getting burned out on both trying to figure out what to do next, or what might sell... On that note... if I don't make any money by the end of the week, I've got to call Barbara and see if I can just have them hold on to my GenCon booth payment for next year... I hope they do because I have no money to get there let alone find a place to stay.

Today, while taking my daily exercise (always nice to get out for a walk when you have to sit by the computer for hours) stroll in the surprisingly nice weather, I decided to kill two birds with one stone; bring a small plastic container and join the old folks in the bushes. Of course, I'm not as professional as the little old ladies and the little old men so didn't bring a camping stool to sit on. I figured that I am still young enough to abuse my back a bit.

Yes that sounds were weird I know but nevertheless. See, I noticed a week or three ago that the forest around the closest public exercise track* where i like to walk is completely showered in berry bushes. The forest floor is covered in blueberry and lingonberry/cowberry and even a few ditches are overgrown with wild raspberry. This amused me to no end since this forest track is basically just beside residential areas and beside a large road so it is still smack inside the city limits rather than out in the countryside. So, I decided to join in with the little old folks and the kids in reaping em some fresh goodies. I mean after all, why not.. it's free. And I do love fresh berries. ♥



Apart form lot of work for little reward, picking blueberries always has that fun side-effect of your hands looking like you just murdered someone.


*) My dictionary says the correct term is actually "illuminated skitrack". Hey, learn something new every day! Except it's summer so y'know.. no skies.

 I need something new

I dont like my job
I dont like the "office 9-5 life".
I dont like the dissapointed minds that will be tetsing me once I leave.
I dont like the way people judge other people for being diffrent.
I dont like how MOST people dont have a fucking clue about tact.
I dont like the close minded people who cant see 2 feet infront of their mirror.

Im diffrent and I know this.
I can do anything I want.
I have the gift of success wrapped around my bones.
I dont need to be unhappy.
Most importantly I dont need to limit my self because of money. 
Its sickning how money controls most things in life. 
Im not one to be a part of that.

Ill make it in this world on an honest ride.
For I am an honest person at heart.
I need to find whats mine, and keep it.
Self sacrifice and patience are the only things I know.
I need somthing diffrent.

Willing to sell my soul, my body, offer nude pix, my money, my virginity and my unborn child for a......
